[redfella]

Is that like when there are multiple quotes inside one post?

If so, I hate that ******.

I think this has already been discussed...

Just stop using nested quotes beyond 1 or 2 levels...

Yes, thats okay. The ones the mods dont like are the ones with 12 quotes in 1 post than someone quotes that and it turns into 24 quotes in 1 post.

Yeah, the point is to just not go nuts. Even if you quote people it's not a bad thing unless it's obvious that you're just doing it to waste space. Most of the time I go in the post and delete what isn't useful anyway. It's like sending a forward with

>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>

on every line. Just clean it up to make it easier to read.

Ok, I can see why that would be a pain. Better to stop here than let it expand for a couple more posts.

I think for those of us that dont post here that often, or are just starting to post here... there may be an issue of not being aware that there was a problem with nested quoting in the past. The sticky in Off Topic really makes no attempt at describing what went down here in the past or what is expected of posters in the future.

-Just saying...

Who didn't?

Yeah... I personally find it VERY annoying to read through a thread with 9-20 nested quotes. Whenever I quote I always go back & delete all but the last 2.

You really suck at reading comprehension you know that? Here's what the mod wrote in the sticky, WITH a link to the offending thread showing examples of people making an ass of themselves.

All of you that participated in the quoting can take a week off. When/if you return, do not repeat this behavior.
